To Mask or Not to Mask

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



To Mask or Not to Mask

To mask or not to mask
That is the question
Whether it is nobler to display loyalty
To the man in power
Or enhance survival of the species
To mask yet ask no questions
Demand no answers
To let the virus work its darkness
Or stand in opposition
And by resisting perchance to stop him
Ah there’s the rub
What further damage might
Our species do if allowed
To spread and thrive?
The species or the planet?
Will not destruction of the former
Spare the latter?
I shall despair
Paralyzed in procrastination
Frozen with indecisiveness
I wait and wait again:
To mask or not to mask
That is the question
